PETER JLWELGH, or CINCINNATI, OHIO.

REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISML SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,248, dated March 9, 18 80. Application filed January 23, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER J. WELcH, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Medicines for Rheumatism, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a safe and effectual rheumatic remedy; and it consists of the following ingredients, namely: gua-iac, powdered rhubarb, nitrate of potash, and sulphur. Of these I take equal parts and mix together in any desired manner, it being immaterialinwhat order they are compounded. In administering the medicine I have found that one-half tea-spoonful after each meal, or three times a day, will produce the desired effect in relieving pain and in healing the disease.

Having described my invention, what I 20 claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

As a rheumatic remedy, the combination of gumguaiac, powdered rhubarb, powdered nitrate of potash, and sulphur, compounded of 2 5 equal parts, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of witnesses.

PETER J. WELOH. Witnesses:
